  • B

  • $A$ is false but $R$ is true.

Answer

Correct option: D.
$A$ is false but $R$ is true.
d
$\underset{\text { Acid }}{ H _{2} S }+\underset{\text { Base }}{ H _{2} O } \rightleftharpoons H _{3} O ^{+}+ HS ^{-}$

$\underset{\text { Acid }}{ H _{2} O }+\underset{\text { Base }}{ NH _{3}} \rightleftharpoons NH _{4} OH$
